SQL Server 2012 :: Select A Part Of Text From The XML?
Feb 18, 2014
I have an xml stored in a coulum of a table and I use the following query to extract an xml element :
select CONVERT(XML,CONVERT(NVARCHAR(max),Response)).value('(/Quote/error)[1]','nvarchar(max)') as Excepiton .The result of the expression is :
TL43:The product has no marked price.;I would like to select only the code : TL43and then separately I would like to select The product has no marked price.Is there a way I can do it?
I have an Address column that I need to Substring. I want to remove part of the string after either, or both of the following characters i.e ',' OR '*'
Example Record 1. Elland **REQUIRES BOOKING IN*** Example Record 2. Theale, Nr Reading, Berkshire Example Record 3. Stockport
How do I achieve this in a CASE Statement?
The following two case statements return the correct results, but I some how need to combine them into a single Statement?
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX(',',Address) =0 THEN LEN(Address ) ELSE CHARINDEX(',' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test'
,LEFT(Address ,CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('*',Address ) =0 THEN LEN(Address) ELSE CHARINDEX('*' ,Address ) -1 END) AS 'Town Test2'
how to import a text file with a list of NI numbers into a new table with a column to list all the NI numbers? I think I use the Select INTO clause, but not sure how to do this?
I am trying to make a query that will group my errors messages together - my problem is that each of the error messages is unique, due to them having an unique id in them.
I'm trying to replace a particular part of a row in a table with a new value.
The row is called "DataPath" and it has a lot of values like so:
mashOperationsComponent Data FilesSantec
I want to run a query to replace the mash with our DFS namespace share name companysharesDepartments but keep everything else past the mash part of the original row.
I'm currently running this query, it says it is altering 30,000 rows, but it doesn't look like it's doing anything at all..
UPDATE dbo.Part SET DataPath = REPLACE(DataPath,'company.localsharesDepartments','mash') WHERE DataPath like 'mash\%'
So for example, it would change the mash above to
company.localsharesDepartmentsOperationsComponent Data FilesSantec
I am doing a web app on the full text search.My select statement using CONTAINS but it doesn't seem to return all the string that contains the search word I included in the query.For example:
Select CustomerID, customername, from CustomerTable where CONTAINS ((CustomerID), '"430*")
the query result only return all customer id which has space in front 430 or start with 430 ex: "xxx 430xxx" or "430 xxx" or "xxx 430 xxx"
but did not return customerID which doesn't has space in front of it Ex: x430xxx
If I use LIKE '%430%', the result return are both have space in front and don't have space in front.
There are 3 columns in the result set - part num, Qty and MO num. Each MO num has part numbers.So there might be same part numbers in MO's. Each part num has qty. So, if I group by part num, I get Qty.
1.There are duplicates of part.num and I want to remove duplicates and add quantities of those duplicates into one single quantity. For example, xxxx is a part num, then xxxx=1,xxxx=3,xxxx=5. I want xxxx=9. I want to sum those. Another question is, each MO has a user. I want to join user and MO num in MO.
Heres the code,
part.num , (woitem.qtytarget/wo.qtytarget) AS woitemqty,
(SELECT LIST(wo.num, ',') FROM wo INNER JOIN moitem ON wo.moitemid = moitem.id WHERE moitem.moid = mo.id) AS wonums FROM mo INNER JOIN moitem ON mo.id = moitem.moid
LEFT JOIN wo ON moitem.id = wo.moitemid
LEFT JOIN woitem ON wo.id = woitem.woid AND woitem.typeid = 10 LEFT JOIN (Select sum(woitem.qtytarget) as labor, woitem.woid, uom.code as uom from woitem JOIN part on woitem.partid = part.id and part.typeid = 21 JOIN uom on woitem.uomid = uom.id group by 2,3) as labor on wo.id = labor.woid LEFT JOIN part ON woitem.partid = part.id
i am facing a bizarre problem, accessing data from a remote server which has been linked to my sql. My SQL server is 2005 and the remote server is SQL 2000. i have linked the remote server (called LinkedServer) so that when i run this query: SELECT * FROM LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeTable executes successfully! However, when i run a similar query like this: SELECT Column1 AS Col1, LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeTable.Column2 as Col2, Alias.Column3 as Col3 FROM LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeTable INNER JOIN LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeOtherTable1 ON LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeTable.Column3 = LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeOtherTable1.Column3
INNER JOIN LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeOtherTable2 AS Alias ON LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeTable.Column3 = Alias.Column3
It gives me this error: The multi-part identifier "LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeTable.Column2" could not be bound. The multi-part identifier "LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeTable.Column3" could not be bound. I have noticed that this error is generated only for the selected columns whose path has either been repeated (e.g. "LinkedServer.SomeDB.dbo.SomeTable.Column2" as opposed to "Column2") or for columns which are from aliased tables.
What is going on?!?!?!??!?!?!
Any Help would be tremendously appreciated!!!! 8..)
The value expression for one of the column in my report is
="Notes: " + Fields!Notes.Value. I want to make this Notes caption to bold. I can't move "Notes: ", Fields!Notes.Value to the 2 different columns. So I want to know, Is there a way to do it?
does anyone know of a way to format part of a text box in sql reporting services 2005? i am creating a form letter and need to concatenate static text with a column and need just the column value to be bold. like this:
"This letter is confirmation that Acme Agency has been chosen..."
my expression to build this is:
="This letter is confirmation that " + Fields!agency_name.Value + " has been chosen..."
Is there a way to apply formatting just to Fields!agency_name.Value ?
I have a table that holds a large amount of text in a field that is the body of the email. For example, it might say something like:
Quote: Email tech support at thisemail@email.com if you have any questions about the results of this test.
I need to change the email address in this field. Using this example I need to change thisemail@email.com to thatemail@email.com; however I do not want to change the other text in that field.
It is also important to note that the rest of the body of the emails stored here is different depending on the email.
So basically what I need is a statement that would look at a particular field, search for an email address, and replace that email address with another one without disturbing the rest of the text in that field. I already checked the w3 update tutorial and the update there is for the entire field.
I have a string column in a DB where it's values contain the following midway through the string ([DOCUMENTGUID] is a uniqueidentifier that is different for each row):
I The requirement is to unload all columns data into csv file using bcp with pipe delimiter, but the condition is to remove milliseconds part of a datetime column.
Ex: 2014-02-19 17:12:14.967 remove .967 from data while unloading into csv.
Ok I have the following SQL, I have a subquery in the SELECT part but also the same subquery in the WHERE part as well.What I'm trying to do is get all parents that have children OR get all parents with no children OR just get all parents regardless (@HasResponses is a BIT that can be 1, 0 or null). At the same time I want to count the total number of children in the select list, but I'm having to copy the same subquery in the SELECT and WHERE parts which doesn't seem terribly optimal to me (maybe it is, that's why I'm asking). I've tried referencing the column alias in the select list (AS [Responses]) for the where part (@HasResponses = 0 AND [Responses] = 0), but it doesn't seem to work.Is this the most optimal way to do it? Is there a better way? I'm working with SQL Server 2005.SELECTf.FeedbackText AS [Feedback Comment],u.Name AS [Feedback Author],f.CreatedDate AS [Created On],(SELECT COUNT(*)FROM FeedbackResponse frWHERE fr.FeedbackID = f.ID) AS [Responses]FROM Feedback fINNER JOIN [User] u ON f.StaffID = u.StaffIDWHERE f.CreatedDate >= @DateFromAND f.CreatedDate <= @DateToAND(@HasResponses IS NULLOR(@HasResponses = 1 AND(SELECT COUNT(*)FROM FeedbackResponse frWHERE fr.FeedbackID = f.ID) > 0)OR(@HasResponses = 0 AND(SELECT COUNT(*)FROM FeedbackResponse frWHERE fr.FeedbackID = f.ID) = 0))
Database is in simple recovery mode, and published with transaction replication push subscription, just one subscriber but the database is huge. I don't want to overwrite the schema at the subscriber either.
I had to run an alter database command on a published database, it created so many logs that an extra drive had to be added along with an extra log file to accommodate all the logs.
The problem I have is I'd like to know clear the file of logs so I can drop the temporary log file, and give the drive back, but I cannot.
I have tried dbcc shrinkfile with the emptyfile option but it never clears, I have also tried it with notruncate and truncateonly options (mainly out of desperation).
I do not need to worry about point in time restore as a full backup is taken before and after the operation. After which the database will be put back into Full recovery mode.
I have looked at log_reuse_wait_desc and the file says 'Replication', so I am now thinking the file cannot empty because replication is keeping one of the VLFs active. I tried dropping and recreating the subscription hoping it might free something up and I could get somewhere, but it made no difference.
Do I have to remove replication completely to get round this? Surely not.
I have also tried putting the database back into full recovery mode, doing a full DB backup, and a transaction log backup, but its made no difference, which is also what makes me think a portion of the log is still active because of replication, and perhaps the transactions have not gone through to the subscriber, which raises another question, why not?
I have not tried restarting SQL server, as I'd like to know a way out of this without having to do that, plus I do not think it would make any difference anyway.
Today I have a very similar situation, only today I am dealing with missing text data, not numeric data.
DECLARE @MissingTextData TABLE ( RowID int ,UserID int , EmailAddress varchar(20) ,StreetAddress varchar(20)
[code]...
I would like to fill in the NULL columns with data from the other row, and then select the one row that is filled with all data. I was able to use MAX() for a numeric value, but I am really stumped on the text data. Everything that I have tried is not working.
I am using FOR XML to generate the HTML and following is my query. I am using td { white-space:nowrap;} for the columns to used no wrap. But i want two columns which need to be wrapped. i have tried lots of options.
I know this is an easy one and I know I've read it somewhere, but I can't seem to write the correct format to run correctly. I am trying to build a SELECT statement base on the selected values of a dropdown list on a webform. The selected values will be part of the Table name.. ("client_info" & location_option.selecteditem.value) Can someone show me the correct syntax for adding a form variable into a SELECT statement? Thanks
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SelectMostRecentArticle]
AS BEGIN
DECLARE @article_id INT SELECT @article_id = ( SELECT TOP 1 article_id FROM article ORDER BY article_id DESC )
DECLARE @comment_count INT SELECT @comment_count = ( SELECT COUNT(comment_id) FROM comment JOIN article ON article_id = comment_article_id GROUP BY article_id HAVING article_id = @article_id )
SELECT TOP 1 article_id, article_author_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date, article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_id article_author_ip, author_display_name, category_id, category_name--, comment_count AS @comment_count
FROM article
JOIN author ON author_id = article_author_id JOIN category ON category_id = article_category_id
GROUP BY article_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date, article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_ip,article_author_id, author_display_name, category_id, category_name
HAVING article_id = @article_id
END GO
as you can see, im trying to return a comment_count value, but the only way I can do this is by defining the variable.
I have had to do it this way, because I cannot say COUNT(comment.comment_id) AS comment_count or it returns an error that it cant reference the comment.comment_id.
But when change it to FROM article, comment; I get errors about the article_author_id and article_comment_id.
And i cant add a join, because it would return the amount of rows of the comment...
unless someone could help with what i Just decribed (as i would prefer to do it this way), how would i return the variable value as part of the select statement?
In SQL 2012, this fails with the error message, cannot find the text qualifer for field.
To get around this, we are having to import the data into a Dirty Data column of aTEMP table, ID, Dirty Data, Clean data - perform multiple updates and change the text qualifier and ensure they are only changed in the right places so we can keep the ". In this example, we changed the text qualifier to PIPES.
After these updates, we then export the data from CLEAN data back out to CSV, then reimport it into the origional destination table with a new text qualifer.
Full Text Searches are working on my test server, but not on my production server. My test scenario is as follows:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG FTC_Test AS DEFAULT AUTHORIZATION dbo
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON guest.FtsTest(FullName) KEY INDEX PK_FtsTest ON FTC_TestI wait briefly and then check to see if the index has been populated: SELECT * FROM sys.fulltext_indexescrawl_end_date is not null,
So I'm assuming I don't have to wait anymore before I try some FTS searches. Right? I can't get any queries to return anything, though.
The following tells me the full text item count for the table is zero:
DECLARE @TableId INT SELECT @TableId = id FROM sys.sysobjects WHERE [Name] = 'FtsTest' SELECT OBJECTPROPERTYEX(@TableId, 'TableFulltextItemCount') AS TableFulltextItemCount
As mentioned, the full text search works on my test server. Both of them are SQL 20012 SP1 (11.0.3000) x64 running on WinServer 2008 R2 SP1.
I am new to Full-Text Searches and FileTables. I am working on a resume search system. I created a FileTable and the Share which contains about 51,000 resumes in Word (DOC/DOCX), PDF and TXT formats that were copied over from our main file server. I followed the instructions on adding the Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0, and all searchable file types are listed in sys.fulltext.document_types.
I have a program that searches resumes by First and Last Name and/or E-mail Address. For a while, we thought it was working fine because we were getting hits, but then we noticed some Names and E-mail Addresses we new existed were not showing up in my CONTAINS queries -- but we verified the documents do exist and the Names exist in the File Name and inside the document along with the E-Mail address.
One example I'm working on now cannot find the First/Last Name with CONTAINS(name,"lastname") in a Word DOC file, but I can find the document using LEFT(name,5) = 'Smith'. It's a Word DOC file. For testing purposes, I opened the DOC file in Word, then used Save As to create a TXT and DOCX file within the same folder. Now, both of those are showing up in the CONTAINS but not the original DOC file.
I'm standardizing street addresses and i think full text search, maybe, work fine with my problem. My problem is that I have 2 millon of errors and using "LIKE" dont work correctly. This is what i have now:
UPDATE addresses SET standarAddress = REPLACE (addresses.streetAddress, errors.streetAddress, corrects.streetAddress) FROM corrects INNER JOIN errors ON corrects.id = errors.idCorrects
'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID '
If i Replace @EmpFilterAddDuty with this in a QUERY, it gives me the expected result, but if i try to execute the stored procedure.:
DECLARE@return_value int EXEC@return_value = [dbo].[EP_Conterbalances] @Start_Date_For_Totals_Date = N'20120831', @EmpFilterAddDuty = 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B
[Code] .....
I get this error code:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'SELECT E.EmployeeID FROM dbo.EmployeeGroupMapToEmployee E, dbo.Per_Budget B WHERE E.EmployeeID = B.PER_PERSONAL_ID AND B.PEB_Budget_id = 243 AND E.EmployeeGroupID IN (SELECT H.Id FROM dbo.EmployeeGroup H WHERE H.InstitutionsId = 22) GROUP BY E.EmployeeID ' to data type int.
I really do not understand why SQL 2012 tries to convert the value to an int, and I want to know how to pass the text string.
